Jane's log:

"Clive from Dublin came over to say hello as we were leaving Blunden Harbour: he has a Sceptre 48 'Celestine'.

"What a great day: sailed anchor to anchor with a jib and staysail, mainly running but brief stretches on a broad reach.  Speed through the water ranged from 4 to 8; SOG from 5 to 8.5.  I really like the staysail and jib for running.

"Spotted three orcas in Queen Charlotte Strait before heading into Knight Inlet - what a beautiful sight!

"Ching was great crew: she helped stow the lines!

"We anchored with 'Dragon's Eye' from San Francisco again (we first saw them in Pruth Bay).  We were a little behind them entering Cutter Cove, as the engine wouldn't start - a few jibes and a tack kept us off the shore until she started.

"Spotted a great blue heron onshore as we dropped the hook in the very very windy anchorage!"
